Politics in Floyd* A correspondent, writing to the Au gusta True Democrat from this placo, says tho Pouglasitca aro endeavoring to cre- ato tho impression that there is a res* poctablo Douglas party in Floyd county, but It is like pouring water on a duck’s back, where any one is postod.” Ho. •ays, further, that Breckinridge will gain from tho Opposition as many ns will go ovor to Douglas. If that is so, Douglas will bo scarcely known in Floyd, for there are only three Opposition men in tho county that wo hnvo heard of who intend supporting Breckinridge.— Bell will get more fVom tho Democracy* than he will loso from tho Opposition.

Danner is inform ed by reliable authority, that tho poorer olasses in tho Southern part of that coun ty, are roduced to such extremity for tho want of the necessaries of life, that they threaten to supply tliomsolvo* by foico of urms, unless they are otherwise relieved immediately. Think of that, Christian people, who aro accustomed to waste enough to sup port all the starving thousands hi tho world J Will you continue to hoard up or squander the superabundance that a kind Providence hns bestowed upon you, while tho poor aro suffering for bread f In view of the distress that is likely to proceed from the scarcity of grain in the country, let tho charitable begin to gather tho crumbs that fall from tlioir tables, and cast thoir bread upon tho waters.

Since the organization of the American party, I liavo been its warm admirer and supporter. 1 have boon a privato in its ranks in several hard fought battles—whon our enemies de nounced us as “oath-bound conspira tors and Mid-night plotters.” I liavo clung to my party whon oil was dark and discouraging—whon tho strong trembled and the weak-deserted—when our principles were assailed “guilty of treason to tho South,” because wo did not approve nnd applaud Cincinnati Platforms and Kansas bill. I shall not forsako it now, because our opponents liavo discovered the cor rectness of our position, end are now seeking to elbow us from the platform we long since erected,and with cool com posure call upon us, tho builders, to join thoso who liavo just discovered the beauty of its propotions nnd tho strength of its structure. For six years wo liavo scon our principles en dorsed by the Supremo.Court of the na tion, and oven our enemies nowapprovo and sustain them. I admire the con science stricken penitent—I lovo to boo him sit upon tho penitential stool nnd weep ovor his past errors—but I dislike to see him, before tho tear is dry upon his cheek, lecturo fathers in Israel, nnd persuade thorn that ho is moro devot ed nnd xeaUuis than they. I admire, also, political converts, yet I must bo excused for doubting tho “convincing conversion” of those who, ono montfi extol tho National Democracy, nnd do- siro tiro Cincinnati Platform, pure nnd iindefiled, and the next, denounce their Northern brethren, ami disrupt their party associations because tho Cincin nati platform is tendored them by “the only party that can snvo tho country,” including tho “forty-four faithful.” No sir, I have not forsaken my party friends, nnd 1 am gratified to see every positions assumed in my lato canvass now endorsed by some who denounced them ns abstractions. Being right then, endorsed now, I shall continue In tho faith, and give my cordial support to to the only National candidates now be fore the people for tho suffrages—I menu Bell and Everett. Respectfully, Yours, T. Hardeman, Jr Tho Returning Africans. The second vessel left Key West on tho 4th instant, with a load of Afri- chiming to (heir native land; A correspondent of the Charleston Courier ys: The scene witnessed on tho Africans taking their departure was truly heart rending. They legged upon their knees, threw themselves down, and by signs, in ever)’ possible way communion- top their repugnance to going hack.— Such as had picked up a few English words spoke for themselves, and tho rest, asking tho physician and the Mar shal to allow their to remain, and lot the citizens do what they wished with them. No man could have witnessed the departure without feeling that it was a great wrong and an net of inhu manity in sending them back to their own country. And the negroes had tho intelligence to comprehend it. It was also stated positively that two, at least, of tho negroes who had boen cap tured on the brig Echo nnd returned, were among the number brought Into Key West. There is a strange talk of a party from Alabama, Louisiana, Florida and Cuba making an attempt to capture these no- grocaIrani the Colonization ships. 1 fancy it is all rumor. T have since learned that ono of the sergeants at tho baracoou was offered $500 to select a guard for a certain night; a corporal was offered $1000 to permit himself to be tied, nnd otherlnrgo bribes wore offered and failed; so the adven turers left nnd nothing has boen heard of them since.

They did so, and were sur- f iriscd on translating the copy, to find t road vory familiarly to tho translator, who was well acquainted with sensa- tion literature. To the dismay of tho publiehers. it was discovered that Du mas bad simply translated an Ameri can work on tho samo illustrious ob ject, and resold tho advance shoots to tho Boston firm An Extraordinary Fact.—l'lio Mont gomery Post says that for twenty-five yours—sinco the days of Gen. Jackson —tho Democracy huvb had but ono slave-holding candidate for tho Presi dency—James K. Folk. This fuct is extraordinary for a party that protends to bo the best Southern party, and as sumes to have in its special keeping the honor, and iutorests nnd safety of tho South. Sinco 1840, the year whon tho Whig party was formed, tho Whig, nnd Amer ican, nml Constitutional Union parties, have lmd three largo slaveholders for thoir Presidential candidates—Clay, Taylor, Bell.

In his gyrations how ever, he passed his head and a portion of his body through a jug handle. This movement brought his head in imme diate proximity to the nest, when he forthwith gulped down another egg.— Now with an ogg on each sido of the jug handle, his snakeship could nei ther escape backward or forward, but was held m “durnnoo vile” until dis- patohod.”—Union Springs Journal. jgyTho famous Rameau, the com poser, while making a eall on a lady, suddenly sprang up, seized a little dog that was yelping at her feet and threw him out of the window. “Whet is that ior T” cried the lady. “Because be barks out of tune I” shouted Rameau, with the indignation of an enthusiastic musician whose ear hod beeq oruelly woundpd. IliRhly Important from Pennsylvania —Douglas Abandoned by Fornoy, llicknmn A Co. The anti-Lecomptonito Democracy of Pennsylvania, lod by Fornoy, Hickman & Co., aro showing themselves in (heir colors, ns will bo seen by the highly important speech, delivered by John Ilickmnn, in the Concert Hall, Phila delphia, on Tuesday evening, tho 24th inst., in which lie formally announces the abandonment of Douglas, nnd comc8out boldly for Lincoln. Mr. Hickman declares Douglas fur inferior to Breckinridge; he gives n scathing record of the Illinois Sena tor’s career, and pronounces that tho only safety for the country lies in sup porting Lincoln. This is nil for the better. It will nar row the contest to tho only two issues involved in it, nnd will strip it of all tho ambiguity and humbug with which it has been invested. Wo always predict ed that flie anti-Lecompton Democracy would como to this. Wo knew that Fornoy, having received his office as Clerk of tho IIouso from tho Republi cans, would give them his support, furtively, if not openly *, but Hickman is an honest, outspoken man, and he comes out in his speech frankly and above board for anti-slavery and tho Blaok Republican candidate. By thus abandoning Dougins, and going bodily into the Republican camp, tho anti-Lo- compton Democrats have put the stamp upon the true issues of the Presidential battle. With thorn it Is evident that Douglas is to bo no longer recognized as a representative of either issue. Oppo sition to Breckinridge and tho Demo cratic pariy, and support to Lincoln and tho Black Republicans, is the buttle cry they havo adopted. Douglas must follow thorn, or bo counted out—dror ped, abandoned by his quondam friend —N. Y. Herald. Mens. Blondin, tho ropo-walkcr and dancer,, is performing his foats at Niagara, crossing and recrossing the stream below the Falls. He. was adver tised lately to “ perform the renowned chair-feat, sitting and standing in vari ous postures, with, only one leg of the. chair resting upon the rope,! plftoing -the chair upon the ropebefore him, and climbing over the back and standing ^reefc in the chair.” The bill also states that Mons. Blondin will, as he returns from the Canada side, take with him an instru ment, and when in the centre of the rope, balance the instruments arid take a^ stereoscopic view of the people on the bank, warranted to be a “ perfect pic ture.” july20wlu Tub Camels.—In ids roport Gov, Floyd, the present Secretary of War, says: “The experiments thus far made (and they»»re pretty full) demonstrate that camels constitute a most useful and economical moans of transportation for men nnd supplies through tho groat deserts and barren regions of our interi or. A camel will go safely with its bur- don over ground so rough and precipi tous (lint » mule will scarcely pass over it unladen without assistance. They re quire no lbrugo but whnt they gather in the most storile nnd barron parts of our continent, and for many days to gether, Uvo conveniently without wa ter. An abundant supply of these an- imuls would, beyond ull doubt, enable our army to give greater und prompter protection to our frontiers and to all our interoccauio routes than three times their cost expanded in any other way. A» a measure of economy ami etfieieney, I cannot too strongly recom mend the purchase of a full supply, to the favorable consideration of Congress. From Alabama.—An esteemod corres pondent writing us from Florence, Ala., on tho 24th inst., closes his letter with tho following acceptable, and wo Imve no doubt perfectly reliable, information: Memphis Enquirer. “ Our causo is most cheering in its prospects, in this State. Letters from South Alabama inform mo that tho en thusiasm for Boll and Evorott is not less than that of 1840;.and they confident ly bollove that they will carry the State. “Douglas is certainly strongest in North Alabama, and his friends will nevor yield. Several counties, howev er, will go for Boll and Evorott in this part of the State ? and they will certain ly lead in tho South. Tho Breokinridgo men say that Bell will beat Dougins, in tho State; and the Douglas men say that Boll will beat Breckinridge. If tlieir testimony is to be believed, (and in this instance I think it is) tho State; will eortainly go for Boll and Evorett.” Poisoned trom Drinkiko Butter-Milk. —Yesterday evening, Mr. Sylvester Pettoway.'his wito, tiyo obildrennnd a negro boy, wore token desperately siok very suddenly; and but for ’.the, timely arrival of a physiciun, must have resul ted fatally to tho whole of them.
